Commitment

13 May 2011

Matthew 26:7-9 A woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for a large sum, and given to the poor."

Christian commitment is something that is not commonly found today, very often the only people who attend any additional teaching or seminars are those who are committed to serve Jesus, most others are neither hot or cold. So when the church leadership is not committed and has no passion to serve Jesus Christ, and are only there to serve their own interests and not His, how can one expect potential members to join that congregation? The challenge for all Christians is in the ability to commit and live a committed life for Jesus Christ.

Yet if we had to give our greatest treasure to Jesus Christ, what would it be, would it be like the woman with the expensive perfume that she anointed Jesus with, or would you give it and then hold onto it, by putting requirements for its use to those who would use it? Our level of commitment is determined by our attitude to giving, not the material things, but the only thing we can give, ourselves including all that we own, all that we are. We are either committed or we are not.

Be encouraged today to be totally committed to Jesus Christ.

David
